Time to increase both the nos and amount of Scholarship


Since 1983 NCERT has kept the no. of qualified students in NTSE to 1000 and amount to Rs 500. The financial incentive given to NTSE scholar is very low, NCERT needs to seriously look in to this and review this. In the last 30 years Salaries of govt. Employees have been increased 10 times where as the pay and perks of MPs & MLAs have been increased 15 times. It is high time even the NTSE scholars should get their legitimate dues.

In the Indian context any increase in Salaries, perks is outcome of collective bargain always. If we don’t put the demand the same scholarship will continue for another 20 years. It is time to raise the demand through letter, e mails, and social media.

There are more than 4 lacs students participated in NTSE last year which might be manifold that of 1983 takers. NCERT should also increase the nos of scholarship to 3000 from the present 1000.
